With its latest release, the Halle returns with a collection of lesser-known English orchestral works, showcasing the full range of colour and brilliant playing of this ensemble.

Sir Mark Elder and the Halle, who recently thrilled a Sage audience, perform Arnold Bax’s lushly orchestrated Spring Flame followed by Frederick Delius’ Idylle, contrasted with The March of Spring.

Frank Bridge’s Enter Spring rounds off a desirable disc.
